Thanks
for stopping by my website. Click on the News link for up-to-date
information about me, my work, meeting me in person, and my activities.

I
am a freelance consultant, trainer, and writer. After more than thirty
years working in libraries, I "took my pension" and now channel
my love of libraries, books, and reading into teaching for Texas Woman's
University, writing, consulting, and conducting face-to-face and online
workshops.It's
a lot of fun being able to pick and choose projects, some for money and
some for love or the community good.

With
the publication of Hummingbirds: Facts and
Folklore from the Americas I
cross over to the other side of the book shelves. My first book
for young people was released in February byCharlesbridge
and it
is beautifully illustrated by my friend and co-author Adrienne Yorinks.

I've worked with a lot of public libraries in Texas and around the country. I've also worked with the Texas Book Festivaland helped Laura Bush by organizing author events like the White House Easter Egg Roll.I get a lot of joy from writing about books and writing to help librarians run their libraries "better."
